When Do I Need a Foreign Legal Opinion in Israel?

Foreign legal opinions may be required when dealing with applications for a succession order or a will probate order.  For example, if the testator registered the will in Israel but the testator’s residence was outside of Israel when the testator passed away, then a foreign legal opinion is necessary to proceed with inheritance issues relating to the testator’s will in Israel.  An expert jurist from the testator’s residence must prepare a foreign legal opinion which must be submitted among other required documents in a variety of cases.

For more information on other issues in inheritance law when a foreign legal opinion may be needed, see our article on applying for a will when the deceased did not live in Israel.  We also address many other issues other than a foreign legal opinion in Israel, which you can find in our list of articles on inheritance law.
